"Baseball players will take anything. If you had a pill that would guarantee a pitcher 20 wins but might take five years off his life, he'd take it" MLB pitcher Jim Bouton about drug use in the Major Leagues... quoted in 1969.

I vow to no longer purchase any product that features sticker autographs...If your user name is this color I'm afraid I'll have to pass on any proposed transactions at this time.

As of August 8, 2015: After coming to a long thought-out and difficult decision, I will no longer be joining box/case breaks. There are things in my life require my attention and resources that have been on the back burner for too long. Right now, I have to appreciate what I already have.

Are we sure that is not a relation to TCC Bob??? That might explain why he disappeared. just kidding. That is unbelievable, there are probably more out there somewhere, and even more that someone unknowingly just threw in the trash.

I saw this earlier today on another site and wrote this in responseto some naysayers of our fine Hobby.

"Folks, I have been in this fine Hobby for 41 years.

I have seen it from the Collectors point-of-view, the vendor at small town card shows point-of-view, the appraiser of a recently widowed wife's point-of view, the employee of a sports & memorabilia shops point-of-view (6 years) and the manager of a sports card trading site with 30,000+ members.

These kind of stories still, to this day, warm my heart.

Granted, it's just cardboard with pictures of men on them. You have to understand the true collector also has a deep, abiding love of the game of Baseball. The history, the epic stories of achievement and failure, the perfection of 60 feet - 6 inches and 90 feet between the bases, the smell and sight of freshly mowed green grass . . .

I could ramble on endlessly. None of you fine readers deserve that.

What a thrill the Heritage Auction with this lot will be. I will be following it closely. 16 E98 Ty Cobbs graded 9, un-flippin'-believable!"

Well, went through the attic this morning and wouldn't you know it.... nothing.
